Population and Development

Accounting for 60 per cent of the world’s population with countries at various stages of the demographic transition and with people at the center of sustainable development, ESCAP focuses on different aspects of the population-related SDGs. It also supports member States in implementing the 1994 Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the 2013 Asian and Pacific Ministerial Declaration on Population and Development. ESCAP also conducts regular reviews of implementation of these programmes and works with diverse stakeholders to ensure equitable development.
